How do you convert #(-sqrt2, 3pi/4) # to rectangular form? Trigonometry The Polar System Converting Between Systems 1 Answer Shwetank Mauria Mar 10, 2016 #(-sqrt2,(3pi)/4)# in rectangular coordinates is #(1,-1)# Explanation: #(r,theta)# in polar coordinates is #(rcostheta,rsintheta)# in rectangular coordinates. Hence, #(-sqrt2,(3pi)/4)# in rectangular coordinates is #(-sqrt2xxcos((3pi)/4),-sqrt2xxsin((3pi)/4))# or #((-sqrt2)xx(-sqrt2/2),(-sqrt2)xxsqrt2/2)# or #((2/2),-(2/2))# or #(1,-1)# Answer link Related questions How do you convert rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates?
